Fashion Now! takes a wry look at following the latest trend in their familiar style which has made Reptilians From Andromeda a firm presence on the site having been both the Editors’ Choice and Readers’ Choice for band of the month within the past year at different times.

Hvis Du Kysser Min Hånd stretches across the room like the kiss to the hand it presupposes as gilded electronic loops coalesce with a synthetic vocal – yet far from throwing the listener into hiatus Martin Strecker is able to elegantly feint a brush with the dorsal of the hand.

The evolving composition – as though a rose dropping fragrant petals as the flickering backdrop of synthetics spinneret around each other. Hvis Du Kysser Min Hånd (available on bandcamp) has queasy lilt that finds the hypothalamus bobbing in opposing directions all at once, yet the cilia don’t find themselves equally out of equilibrium as the threading intonations bounce around the room in a flow which equalises as much as it disintegrates.

Relatively newly out of the blocks, forming towards the tail end of last year, 410 is a band to get to know post-haste as their grumbling songs of protest, redolent of a country seemingly forever at war with itself within the various factions springing up in rapid succession. 410 create music that will resonate for all those from where-ever in the world who are fed-up with the old way of doing things and just want to see irrelevant festering bigotries sliced away like the gangrenous appendages they have become.

The dark menacing tones of the tracks weigh heavily reflecting of the crushing of opportunity as 410 deliver tightly compressed waves of sound that batter in to the audience.

Although not long in existence 410 are already establishing a loyal live performance following and their début five track EP Bağırdım Sokaklarda (available on bandcamp) deserves to enable them to discover a broader international audience – Turkish speaker or not – as the collection of protest material has immediate global relevance.

The track I have chosen to feature to introduce 410 – Çöp (Rubbish) – perhaps serves as a perfect song title for English speakers whether taken in translation or the immediate untranslated as read in English.
